You go to Fiona Sampson for intensity, and The Catch doesn’t disappoint.
Suzi Feay, Independent on Sunday
[Sampson] has an intense relationship with nature, communicated in delicate observations.
Bel Mooney, Daily Mail
A complex economy of lived feeling… She can also render complexity of feeling with the economy that marks a poet of a high order… That rich plainness is enviable
Sean O'Brien, Independent
Sampson’s verse feels alive.
Leaf Arbuthnot, Times Literary Supplement
The Catch seems above all to be a narrative of mystical experience; free of God and dogma, but deeply aware of history and ecology, it may be among the pioneers of a newly emergent 21st-century incarnation of sacred poetry
Carol Rumens, Guardian
Full of originality and spirit, these poems are beautifully made and a joy to read
W.S. Merwin
